    The Power of Gratitude in Golf w/ Karl Morris (part 2)

    In part 1 of this conversation with Karl Morris, we discussed the importance of building skill, rather than obsessing over golf swing. And how you can access that skill through having a more optimistic view of the circumstances you’re in. But that was mostly concept. In part 2, I want to make it more concrete. I want something for the player that is in the middle of a bad round and needs something to go to. A tactic to put into place to help them through it. A way to adapt to changes in the environment or in ourselves. Karl Morris guides us through some great ways to do just that. ----- Karl Morris's podcast: Mind Caddie Apple: Mind Caddie Spotify: Mind Caddie ----- Get 10% off a Divot Board!

    Why Anger is NOT Ok on the Golf Course

    On this episode we talk about anger. Anger is basically synonymous with golf. I’ve never met a golfer who didn’t get angry at some point, let alone every round. I do, and I’m sure you do. But I want to go through some reasons why anger should be avoided. Why it’s actively bad to get angry. I actually learned a thing or two in researching this, so I'm confident you'll learn something. ----- Get 10% off a Divot Board!
